TIP O' THE WEEK

Tips to make your computer a better travel companion
By James Wysong
From Tripso.com
1. Power up. If you think you'll be able to juice up between
flights, think again. Outlets for passenger use are
disappearing as fast as airport energy bills are rising, and
when you do find an outlet, it usually has someone hooked up
to it already. So bring an extra battery — it's worth the
weight.
2. Choose your seat wisely. On the airplane, get a seat by
the window so you are not bothered by passengers with weak
bladders. If possible, get a seat in an exit row, at the
front of the economy section, or on the bulkhead aisle;
these rows typically have more space — or have no seats in
front of them — so you can extend your screen without inter-
ference.
3. Protect against snoopers. If you have WiFi access on your
computer, secure it. When I turn on my computer in flight, I
often find I can access most of the laptops on board. So, if
you don't want me — or any other nosy person — looking into
your files, learn how to secure your connection.
4. Cover your ears. If you (or your child) want to play a
game or watch a movie, be considerate and wear earplugs. If
someone in a neighboring row is not using earplugs, and the
audio annoys you, call the flight attendant. Common courtesy
will work its way out.
5. Close it up. When flight attendants pass with the drink
cart, close your screen until they have served everyone in
your row. Accidents and turbulence can cause spillage onto
your keyboard, ruining your flight and possibly your PC.
6. Get your Net for free. Many airports offer free wireless
Internet access these days, but not all of them. If you have
WiFi capability on your laptop, go to freewifispot to find
out where you can access the Internet for free.
7. Extend it. Check with your airline to see if your flight
has an in-seat power supply. If it does, then spend 10 or 12
bucks on a universal flight adapter cable. Different computers
have different power cords, so check the specifications care-
fully; some models come with different plugs so they can
adapt to most any laptop — as well to cell phones, PDAs and
DVD players.
8. Eyes front! Why is it that when your computer is open,
everyone feels it's OK to look at your business? I have to
admit I am guilty of this impropriety myself from time to
time. If you really must keep your work to yourself, invest
in a privacy filter to keep prying eyes off. 3M and other
manufacturers make several models.
9. Be considerate of others. Porn and flying don't mix. I
had to stop four passengers last year from playing X-rated
DVDs. Why anyone would want to be turned on during a flight
is beyond me. Different strokes for different folks — just
not on the airplane!
10. Back it up. Technically, you are not allowed to put your
laptop in the seat pocket in front of you for takeoff or
landing, but did you know it's OK to put it behind your back
against the seat? This is actually a good idea: The computer
poses no danger to anyone and there is no way you'll leave
it behind accidentally.
